[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For parents whose kids are at Pomona - which career paths are they considering?

This is applicable to most LACs but besides Economics, other majors dont seem to have any direct path to employment/career - but rather Grad School or Law.

Is that a fair assessment. DC would love to go to Pomona but is not sure what will come out of career outcomes - so is hesitating to apply.[/quote]
The career outcomes are great, but yes many students go into Law or grad school. Pomona’s number 1 destinations are tech/consulting (California influence, much?), but there’s an infinite number of paths. This question really matters more with what major your DC is interested in. If your DC is a good fit, they should apply.[/quote]

TY for responding. So basically 'something' will work out - given the quality/reputation of Pomona and the location?

We are in Virginia- so maybe William and Mary is a good (and much cheaper) alternative - but I know the opportunities in LA will be far greater.  And cant beat the LA weather.

It's the same everywhere. history majors at Harvard mostly go to law school, or graduate school, and the rest figure 'something' out. Kids who are smart enough to go to these selective schools like Pomona are smart enough to find employment. [/quote]
